This day in Pro Wrestling history - 27th January: John Cena wins the Rumble twice

John Cena has been a strong performer at the Royal Rumble

Ironically, WWE granting two straight Wrestlemania main events for Rock vs Cena would draw the ire of CM Punk and the ultra popular superstar’s frustrations would reach boiling point a year later as the company made it clear that it would be part-timer Batista who would headline that edition of Wrestlemania.

The night after Batista won the 2014 Rumble, Punk would have a heated discussion with Vince McMahon and Triple H which would result in the straight edge superstar walking out of the company.

The date was 27th January, exactly a year after he had his record 434-day WWE title run ended at the hands of the Rock.
